Canyon Bomber
Canyon Bomber is a black and white arcade game from 1977, developed and published by Atari, Inc. It was written by Howard Delman, who previously programmed Super Bug for Atari. Canyon Bomber was rewritten in color and with a different visual style for the Atari 2600 and published in 1979.
In Canyon Bomber, the player and an opponent fly in a blimp or biplane over a canyon filled with numbered circular rocks, arranged in layers. The player does not control the vehicle's flight, only presses a single button to drop a bomb that destroys rocks and gives points. Each rock is labeled with the points indicated for destroying it. As the number of rocks is reduced, it becomes harder to hit them without missing. The third time a player drops a bomb without hitting a rock, the game ends.
